Because they won't have to teach everyone how to use git, and they will have to teach everyone how to use mercurial
The Linux kernel is not particularly big by comparison. Although I suppose you could argue the cause is the choice of keeping so much in a single repo (I certainly would).
Kinda... they completely lost any kind of user-lookup or CCs or versions or any other data... but yeah sure they moved comments I guess that's everything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What you're saying is that a complex tool requires learning to understand it. Of course it does. Does that make the less complex tool better? No, in fact usually it only makes it better for the occasional user - at the…
They make money off the code hosted on Github, which is by-and-large open source. Github makes money off of open source software whether they themselves run open source software (almost certainly yes) or not.

Why do you need multiple keys for "a few consulting clients" to begin with? Yubikey's have a limited number of slots for GPG keys by the way... I'm curious to know how you stuffed as many subkeys as you want into the…
Then why are you so worried about people clicking spam? If they want to read your email, they're not going to mark your email as spam.
foreach email_address: if email_address not in recent_unsubscribers: send_email(email_address)
The theory is that they might have already generated the list of subscribers when they wrote up the email days earlier, or be working off some mirror of the data, etc. It's a really dumb theory and the real reason is…

One word: propaganda
There's also a reason that they and every other provider give/gave free "unlimited" storage. And a reason they're all cracking down.

Yeah, I just treat credit and debit as opaque blobs. They're words, I don't really know what they mean, but I know one means "side A" and one means "side B" ;)

Isn't cash kept on hand the relevant attribute here? Whether they're solvent or not, they ran out of cash to meet withdrawals.
